      "We booked a spur of the moment food tour with Carlo. We did not know what to expect of the tour and happily the tour exceeded our expectations. Carlo was a knowledgeable and interesting guide. We learnt about food from the different regions of Italy, as well as some of the history of Italy and food. We had a lovely evening! Thank you Carlo! "

      Best food in all of Rome

He perfectly intertwined the history of Rome, Roman food and current culture, showed us his favorite places and once in a lifetime hidden gems We met a stranger and left friends. "

      Off the beaten path with Thomas

      "Thomas was a great “guide” for our drinks and bites. We wanted a more local feel neighborhood for our tour, and he delivered! We met at Piazza Bologna…and it was perfect. It was bustling with shops, restaurants, bars and college students on their way back for the fall. He picked 3 very cool places and they were awesome! Vespers was the fav. Thank you…"

      We’re so glad we picked Paola

      "Paola adapted our tastings to our taste. She took us to places with the best cheeses we’ve ever tasted (and we do like cheese). We had amazing artichokes and rice rolls and granita - which we’d never heard of and was so refreshing. She shared a lot of information about the city and living in Rome. It was an excellent experience."

      Fabullis food tour

      "We had a fabulous time with Paola. We met her in the piazza and she took us around the streets of Testaccio - sampling a variety of of food, from pizzas to pastries and then on in to Testaccio market where we sampled more food, from suppli, to fruit, to dumplings and meats plus a delicious glass of Prosecco. She then took us up to Aventine Hill to have a look, which has a magnificent view. She is an absolutely lovely, vibrant lady, who provided us with history, food and fun - would highly recommend this tour. "
